Don’t believe JD!!!!
In a company global meeting today, JD said that the layoffs are behind us. I was quite confused because I heard from a VP that tech ops was going to be hit after the holidays. A few minutes ago, I saw the news that Nike is going to fire an additional... — read more
Moral Conundrum
I've been with Nike for about 10 years and the first few years were amazing and I felt a part of something really great, special, and felt appreciated. The swag!!! (real swag, not a coffee cup) Now? I don't know. The culture I knew is gone. ... — read more
Compensation range (director role)
Hi. How much should one expect with a bit over 10 years experience. I’m being offered a director role with the company in Oregon. Any other expectations to set once I consider all other items (bonus, health etc)? Above all, any pointers on... — read more

What are the PLM & TD salary ranges between L & U Bands? entry level, mid, sr to manager levels....
How many would recommend?
My neighbor’s son has a bachelors in computer science and recently came to me asking about the company. It was the usual type of questions about pay, culture, bennies- etc. Towards the end I felt a little trepidation because I didn’t know how I would... — read more
Predictions for FY21
JonDon and the leadership team will announce that they have “successfully accomplished our D&I goals” at the senior leadership level. I applaud them for FINALLY getting it right, but where was the moral compass for all those years in the 80s-90s when... — read more
Goodbye to friends and excellent colleagues
I want to use this forum to say goodbye to friends and colleagues that are no longer with Nike as of this week. Many people that I have worked closely with, cared about, admired and trusted. It is true that we lost kind, smart, capable, knowledgeable... — read more
We're collateral damage. We're the peasants.
Learn that now and move on to something better. The Nike we knew is gone. We're now in the age of the new fiefdom where power, title and money rules. Study your history. This is nothing new Fascinating how history repeats itself. Phil is gone. ... — read more
Nepotism
If you kiss a– and play the game you’re good to climb the preverbal ladder. If you work hard but maintain your dignity by not drinking the kool-aid, good luck, you probably won’t go anywhere. Also, train your damn leaders. These fools have no... — read more
Layoffs and job postings
Kind of crazy to see Nike posting job openings while laying off so much talent... I don’t understand why companies don’t offer employees to move internally before laying off in times of covid
Bonanza ended for Nike?
Like any wildly successful company, the people who got in at the start benefit the most. Nike was also fortunate to have hit the mother lode with Jordan and Tiger. They literally did not plan that and weren’t really even necessarily prepared to... — read more
Life After Nike
My experiences at Nike gave me an appreciation for the various benefits of working for an industry leader (not just the compensation). But also found that the kind of people drawn to an industry leader were not necessarily the ones who you’d want as... — read more
New Hire VP in TECH - Coffee chat snippet - LOL!!!
Host - "Hello welcome to NIKE" "What is your favorite sport?" New VP- "I dont like SPORTS" Zoom Audience - ''''''' Awkward!
Is it over for 2020?
Has the dust settled? Are we done with layoffs for the year? Was it over 500 people after all?
Anyone cut in Corp Comms?
Curious who got da chop!
Is Nike a Cult?
I survived, for now. But I am so anxious that I'll be let go. My skills are transferable and I should be able to find a decent job relatively easily. And yet, I am anxious and dread rejection. It almost feels that without Nike I'd use my identity... — read more
How are layoffs done here at Nike?
Is it 1:1 with your manager? How about HR? What do they tell you?
2017 Survivor
Been away from Nike since the 2017 layoff and recently heard from friends that another round was going on. I am not going to go into a role of bashing Nike but I will say that a lot of good people were let go in 2017 that were honest, hardworking... — read more
V and A Bands at WHQ?
Any news? I'm super worried about my wife's job since the VP she supported is gone and that's twice since this all began.
JDI winner and nominees shown the door :(
One JDI 2020 winner and 4 nominees were let go. Sad. We hope Individual CFEs ,manager 360 feedback and employee survey is used to make this decisions.
Crisis of Leadership
10+ year vet here. What pains me the greatest is that the workers are paying the ultimate price. Many specific VPs- of Innovation; of Finance; of Categories - have willingly chosen to a) empire build; b) shirk responsibility to make brave choices and... — read more
Why is Nike expecting people to relocate?
Employees have clearly proven we can be productive while working remotely. With more and more companies accepting remote work as the “new normal,” why is Nike reverting back to its old ways of asking people to uproot their families and lives to... — read more
I STILL love it
S band here and I was recently let go. All I want to say is that this company has given me knowledge and experiences that I will always be grateful for. I know many feel this company has done terrible things in regards to employees and many are... — read more

WTF has Valiant labs produced?
Why are they hiring more people?
When should we accept lower position?
I thought there would be no downlevelling at Nike but it seems to be happening. On another thread here @bwk+17DWAnKb I see that some have been offered options to move to a lower position or take severance. I am very disappointed and I don’t know if I... — read more
Did Nike offer severance packages?
I'm very sorry for everyone laid off. I am currious if Nike at least gave their hard working employees severance packages. Like 6 month to a year's worth. If not, I'm no longer a customer.
Jordan also getting affected!!
A couple of friends were laid off from the Jordan side. It is happening everywhere, we are just not hearing about it because we are at home.
Blood bath
Early on the word was that merch and departments supporting the accounts would get the biggest hits. But now it is very clear those are just pieces of the puzzle. If I had known Nike direct was hit like this I would have planned differently. Too late... — read more
Converse being hit today
Hearing of layoffs in Account Management and Sales
Bull
I’m so disappointed. My dad has worked at Nike for more than 30 years. He is the most hardworking person I know. He loves this company more than anything. Imagine working more than half your life doing amazing things for the company you love and then... — read more
This makes no sense
I find it ironic that leaders have used CDA as cover to weed out those who have been attempting to hold leaders accountable or call out and solution the duplication and inefficiency we’re supposedly trying to fix. So you’re eliminating anyone... — read more
Things have not changed
I see people bemoaning how much Nike has changed in the past 5/10/however many years and I can't help but laugh. Those who think this company has changed over the years are looking at the past through rose-colored glasses. This place was never a good... — read more
Question for you all
How would a company prosper and move forward which includes building employee morale if these people, in some cases toxic, were left to continue working at the company? Some of the people I know who were laid off were some of the worst people I... — read more
